I finally got around to finishing the transmission tunnel cover. Rather than stick to the original plan and upholster the sides of the tunnel down to the floor, I opted to just do a simple cap. Although fully upholstering the tunnel would have resulted in a more finished appearance, that isn’t really the look I am after, so I kept things (relatively) simple.

Overall I am pleased with the results, but there are a lot of wrinkles that will hopefully come out with a heat gun (looks worse in the photos). I was also a bit disappointed to discover that more subtle grain in the new vinyl means it is more revealing of flaws in stitch quality. Since I don’t know how to sew, that means the quality isn’t great. Oh well…
